    First, just want to note that you ignored basically everything I said. If you can’t actually engage with what I say, you can always just not write a comment at all.

    A candidate is better when they are on enough of the ballots to win the election. Claudia is not.

    I challenged you to think about the harm created by normalization. You can’t help but try and slot it into “but my genocidet can win the election” logic. Do you not see the disconnect?

    She does not have any conceivable path to 270. She literally cannot win.

    Yes everyone is aware of this, you are just catching up.

    Casting a vote for her is saying you don’t care who actually wins.

    First, did you already forget how the electoral college works? It’s not like your vote is actually for Harris and will help her win in most states. But you loudly announcing support for a genocider does have impact.

    Voting third party in this situation, as in most, says, "neither major candidate is acceptable to me. You are pretending this means a lack of investment in outcomes, but it actually means having a realistic idea of how you can begin to forward political interests rather than being a sheepdog for genocidal empire.

    Again, your “strategy” is to cheerlead genociders. And of course it isn’t your strategy, it’s the same PR group-tested vote shaming strategy that has led to Democrats being able to openly do genocide while knowing they won’t lose your vote. Your “strategy” is why we are here.
